Right time to get a few miles in

Today's 73 plate truck has 233334 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Bradwell.

Morning.
It is grey and a bit chilly here. My friend his bringing his van round for me to repair again. Last time it was drizzling, this time it is grey and chilly. It seems jinxed!

I've gone onto a site to help me with my Saxaphone. They seem to think that I need to get it serviced and looked at. They have suggested a different mouthpiece. I can see that a different mouthpiece is required. I have tried just holding my clarinet mouthpiece against the end of the sax and managed to get some sounds.
The group seems to think that I will become professional and people pay me to play. Fat chance! People will more than likely pay me not to!
I am quite happy tinkering, sorting out problems as they arise. A lot of comments must be coming from America where people can get things. I have searched online for wind instrument peeps in a 20 mile radius and there seems to be nothing. Guitars yes but not wind instruments.

Good morning from a bright & sunny Suffolk. Coffee has been had while listening to the radio and the sounds of a youth football match on the local playing field.

There's another load of washing being done on free solar electricity and, once that's been done and put on the whirlygig to dry, I need to go out and do a bottle bank trip followed by some food shopping for today and tomorrow's day out. Just a word of warning - shorts may be worn if it's warm enough.

Overcast and cool with the sun trying to break through. Early trek to Aldi for salad leaves use by Tuesday before the rush. On the return encountered a white poodle that jumped on my left leg. Obviously recognised me as a cyclist despite walking.

Mama crow is safely bedded down on her eggs and facing in a north-easterly direction for a change. Papa crow was on the aerial next to his favourite chimney pot but has just flown off northwards towards Surrey Quays.

Oh, mama crow has veered northwards. She only seems to shift position when I'm not looking.

The day cleared nicely for our cable car ride in Koblenz. First pic at 09.30, second at midday

Didn't sneak a ride out, as MrsF was in.

I asked first ! LOL.

24 miles, a mix of on and off road on the CX bike. No pain from my hip, and no 'roughness' from the previously broken socket. Power is down, but I still managed to catch someone on a climb. Stopped for a coffee with about 5 miles to go at a little mobile coffee van on the Middlewood Way - if I get out tomorrow am, I may just do the same - coffee was very nice.

I was a little over dressed with a new Polaris top (warm one) so I'll go lighter weight tomorrow. Mainly overcast which was a relief with a wardrobe error.

Well, that was a shock. I got on the train and 2 people offered me their seat in rapid succession. I must have aged a decade overnight!

 

[biggs682]

Another cuppa and a slice of Cuthbert cake went down well.
A couple of more things are booked so no going back now.
